CYCLING AT SWANSEA. FIFTY-MILES RACE FOR A CHALLENGE CUP. In the presence of a good gate," the 50-miles cycle race for the 25-guinea challenge cup pre- sented to the Speedwell Cycle Club by Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, Bart., M.P., took place at the Central Athletic Ground, Swansea, on Saturday afternoon. The weather was fine, and the track in excellent condition. Interest was added to this year's contest by reason of the fact that one of the competitors, Charlie Hopkins, who was now allowed a minute's start, had only to win the trophy again in order that it might become his personal property, he having twice won it before, in 1895 and the following year. The entries came from all parts of the district, and at seven minutes past three the following riders, with the handicaps given, started :—Messer, 15 minjifces (time limit) Poole, 15min.; Burrows, 15 T. Tavne, 15min.; L. Campbell, 15min.; A. Butt, 15min.; Powell, 14min.; J. Brayley, 13min.; T. D. Williams (Llandilo), 13min.; G. Thomas, 12min.; T. W. Dolling, llmin.; Ben Jones, llmin.; Charlie Hopkins, Imin.; J. Williams, scratch; and J. Douglas Davies, scratch. At the outset Campbell, Butt, Williams (Llandilo). and Brayley led in the order named, bu at 27 miles the scratch men broke away, Douglas Davies drawing away from Hopkins and J. Williams in splendid style. Although the distance between Davies and Hopkins and the leading trio of limit men was being gradually reduced, it was found impossible to overhaul Butt, who secured the cup after a splendid race. Campbell was second, Douglas Davies third, and T. D. Williams fourth. Douglas Davies won the medal for covering the distance in the shortest time, and Charlie Hopkins had the misfortune, when almost at the end of the race, and when going well, to fall over a dog that h&d strayed on to the track. He was somewhat severely hurt. Butt's time was 2h. 29min. 30sec., and Douglas, Davies's 2h. 24min. 30sec. Hopkins's time when he fell was 2h. 19min. 55sec. Sir John Llewelyn was unable to be present as expected, and the duties of judges devolved upon Mr Owen Morgan f: t-Major Syme.

BILLIARDS. EXHIBITION MATCHES AT CARDIFF, In response to the appeal of Alderman J. Raxnsdale (Mayor) for funds for the relief of the Cardiff distressed, the brothers Chamberlain arranged two exhibition billiard matches for Thursday and Friday last. The one on Thurs- day took place at the Wyndham Hotel, Canton, and was witnessed by a moderately large and appreciative audience. Mr Allen Chamberlain led off with a break of 22, which was succeeded by various good breaks between that number and 51. Although Mr Bert Chamberlain, was not in his best form, he was highly applauded for his skill as an exhibition cueist, his best breaks ranging from 23 to 4-1. Had the game been finished it would have been a very close and exciting one, but 11 o'clock came too quickly, and the final scores stood :—Bert Chamberlain, 803; while his brother Allen headed him by 87. The match on Friday took place at the Terminus Hotel, St. Mary-street, and was well attended. The play varied but little from the previous even- ing, the final scores being :—Allen Chamberlain, 1,000 and an unfinished break Bert Chamber- lain, 730. Messrs Burroughes and Watts, to encourage the object, presented Allen Chamber- lain with a magnificent cue and case for making the highest break. Both games warehighly interesting, and the result has been a cheoue for three guineas to the Mayor's Distress Fund.

NOTES AND ANTICIPATIONS. THE ST. LEGER. WEIGHTS FOR AUTUMN HANDICAPS. The period between Goofiwood and Doncaster is always more or less quiet, but seldom has it 'reached such an extremity of dullness asjn the present season. The Ebor Handicap, which at one time provided a string of quotations for weeks before the race, was entirely neglected until the hour set for its decision, and the class of its seven competitors was only one degree removed from that of the selling plate ranks. The St. Leger, too, has never reached so low an ebb, so far as speculation is concerned, as only occa- sionally are one or two candidates quoted. The slack time is now over, and the appearance of the weights for the Cesarewitch, the Cambridge- shire, and other handicaps reminds; us that the autumn campaign is upon us. As the acceptances for the two chief handicaps will be declared next week, I shall content mysel with a cursory glance at the more notable features presented by -them. Among those nominated for the long distance handicaps Masque II. stands out as pecu- liarly well treated, and I have no doubt that he will figure among the acceptances. I do not think for a moment that we saw his true running at Aacot, either in the Gold Cup or in the Alexandra Plate. At the time I drew attention in this column to the fact that he showed prominently during the earlier stages of the contest, and that when he looked like coming to the front he dropped back apparently beaten, although he came ag&in, and was going fresher than anything else in the race at the finish. He has now 8st 101b to put up, and is meet- ing The Rush with 81M the best; of the weights. The French horse is handicapped still more favourably in the Cambridgeshire, as he has only 8st 71b to put up, and if he runs up to anything like the form he has exhibited in his own country he should go very close indeed. Love Wisely, who stands second to Velasquez for the Cam- bridgeshire, is top weight in the long distance handicap, with 9st 51b, but he will find it difficult to beat The Hush, who has lib less to carry, and moreover he may not be u.ble eta stand another preparation. Merman, with 8st 51b, is in receipt of 131b from The Rush, which places last year's winner in a favourable position, as he was only in receipt of 121b from The Rush a twelvemonth ago. Against this must bcaet the fact that Mr Dobell's horse has shown himself to be in form this season, while Merman has so fftr performed indifferently. Still, Merman may again prove the better of the pair at the weights. History is particularly well in with 7st 61b, considering that he won the Great Metropolitan when carrying a stone all but a pound more than has been allotted him for the Cesarewitch, His task was undoubtedly not a difficult one in the Epsom race, but when it is remembered that he won with considerable ease it is evident that he has been very favourably handicapped. King Crow, although meeting Jaquemart on 221b worse terms than when the latter ran him to a head at the York Spring Meeting, is fairly treated with 8st 21b, and judg- J»y the style in which he carried off succes- sively the Great Northern Handicap, the Man- chester Cup, and the Northumberland Plate, it is on the cards that he might add the Cesare- witch to his list of victories. He has certainly made a^good deal of improvement throughout this Tvrva^ he is the only representative of the Miaalehajn stable in the long distance handicap, he should certainly be among the acceptances. Up Viuards, who created a sensation by defeating .the r^nsh in the Chester Cup, is meeting the on ,'b worse terms, which is fair treatment. i lers, if he is going to win one of the long distance handicaps, should certainly do it now wrth only 6st 31b, a very light impost for a six year old to carry, and as he has been doing some useful work lately, he may prove dangerous, providing he can at such a weight CLa .f°,od 3°ck0y to ride him. Of the others, St. has n0t altogether lost his form, might be reckoned with, as he is not treated so 8,3 n accustomed to of late. He iITV..T -a ?kCe asi.aJthree year old, and although nlr a l10^ then, he may run well over a coarse that suits him Cnpi?A kost of ^our in the Cambridgeshire with 9st 71b, and Love Wiselv mTllw 4lb" NeitW of thlseTre to for thlfL ^e, and Winkfield's Pride, take care ^tlbe'two'top weights ^eta^T is allot^d 8st 111b, wilFfiTdt? d&cT1^orfto his lilking than that Of them,r, to and Dmna Forget with 8st 21b is cer- tainly entitled to respect, as he has shown steady improvement ever since he has re- turned to Robinson's charge. Masque II., how- ever, should beat all those mentioned above with 8st 71b, and he will probably ere long figure pro- minently 121 the wagering. Bridegroom, who has 7st 91b to put up, stands a better chance than Disraeli, who has the same weight to carry. Coming down the list, Prince Barcaldine, with 7st 41b, and Teufel, with 7st 31b, ara both well in, as also is Nunsuch with 7st, while among the bottom weights South Australian, Craftsman, and Celada are all entitled to consideration. The most important fixture of the North, Don- caster, mil be reached next week, and on Wed- nesday the St. Leger, second in importance to «•-? ?eTT? • .^e classic races, will be de- ft™* *a ^rQP?f.sl'3*e, to become enthusiastic en which for three months past has rrzrr °A a o^orse race," but dnnhid 1 -Doncaster Town Moor will gQ as ever' although up to the over the strue/le ^Bering has taken place note except iec^dah has'c 'ithe/bp1 of ftny is under a cloud.

The last named performed so badly in her last two races atDerbv finishing fast in each event-that she canpos sess no possible chance, while the other candidate, ^pht the Wind, is stated on good authority to be a non-runner. Ninus, who h2 been^ncied m many quarters, cutjup so badly fc his tnal with Purser, that he might as well remain m his stable, while to add tLT Soltykoff's iU-fortune, P«8« ^okl ^fC° at the end of the md W n OWn quently been scratched, ^he case of Batt appS so hopeless that even place honours sppm the question with hfm, althoS thTD^o °J Westminster, remembering the Jostle indde^ may send ham as a forlorn hope.

Disraeli, although nojy: in active work hal been so long on the wsOking Ust that he' wiU hardly be sufhciently wound-up for a race likeX St. Leger. If anytliing is to create atnmjm i! should be lyildfowler, as he has not been seen oat for some months, but his two performances last spring certainly give no encouragementto support him Little too is known Zi Dunlop who followed up his third in the Derby bv dia gracing himself in the Grand Prix de Paris He has, however, been putting in good worl: latelv a. very important desideratum, and he may prove, as good a place investment as Pnythine. The distance will be too far for.Schonberg, while neither Pheon or Bridegroom II. are of sufficient class to threaten danger to the Derby winner. Greenan not long ago would have been ignored altogether for a race of this kind, but Iris two recent victories indicate that he is improving, and he should account for many of those men- tioned above, although he cannot by any means be considered to have any chance with Jeddah. Not will be gained by further discussion and l shal t- conclude by giving -,undi-vided vote JEDDAH, while; Greenan .and Dunlop should fiB. the-two remaining berths, assuming that Dieudonne is an absentee. On Tuesday will be. deeded the Great York- -shire Handicap, the most important event of its character held during the meeting. It will be decided over the Old St. Leger Course, and several welt-known horses are among the accept- ances, although it is to be feared that some of the best will be reserved for the more coveted autumn handicaps. AmoDg those must be reckoned Jaquemart, King Crow, Barford, DÏnns. Forget, and Pie Powder, some of whom must possehs a capital chance if among the runners on Tuesday next. Bonnebosq also, who is nicely weighted, may be reserved for the Casarewitch, asm the latter event, with 6st 71b, he will have 41b less to carry than at Doncaster. Of those who are likely to take part, the best appear to be KING'S MESSENGER and LOCARNO, one'of which should secure the judge's award. On** the same afternoon will be decided the Chani- pagne States, the chief juvenile event of the" meeting.

The. 'tJteb will be secuced by The or Fosco; and the Doncaster Welter Plate by Templecombe or Cardonald. On the St. Leger afternoon the Rufford Abbey Plate should Ilfall to The Quack or Hendersyde and the Tattersall Sale Stakes to Wild Irishman. The Cleveland Handicap should ;go to Santhia or J. Waugh'e selected, and the f-Bradgate Park Plate to Devii-a-Saint or Mount Prospect. On the third day the Portland Plate will be decided. This popular sprint has obtained a good entry, and among those who should finish in the first flight are Lucknow, Horah Sandys 0, The Tartar, Ugly, Mount Prospect, Ardeshir, and Fortalice. Of the above l shall throw in my' lot with LUCKNOW and ARDESHIR. The Rous Plate would be appropriated by Des- mond if it is decided to run him after his efforts in the Champagne Stakes. If, however, Lord Dun- raven's colt is not among the competitors, I shall depend on Galopin Lassie or Urugayo, the sen- sational conqueror of the Noble Duchess colt in the Michaelmas Stakes yesterday. The Alexan- dra Handicap may be secured by Grodno or Chackbird, and the Scarborough Stakes by Poldo or Vatel. On the concluding afternoon the-prin- cipal event is the Doncaster Cup. As With the Great Yorkshire Handicap, several of the most prominent candidates are engaged in the Cesare- witch and the struggle may dwindle down to very small dimensions. The entry is a splendid one including Jeddah, The Rush, Winsome Char- tens, Love Wisely, Bay Ronald, Pie Powder, Special Licence (who was well supported for the Cesarewitch when the market first opened) Jaque- mart, King Crow. Herminius, and Dinna Forget. Most of these are doubtful starters, and I-shall theref ore-give a solid vote to THERUSH. On the same afternoon the Park Hill Stakes should afford Lowood another chance, as Fair- mile, her conqueror in the Yorkshire Oaks, is now meeting her on equal terms instead of with a stone the best of the weights, and Pie Powder will in all probability be an absentee. Under these circum- stances I shall throw in my lot with Lowood. The Prince of Wales's Nursery may be secured by Noble Duchess colt, who was certainly unfortu- nate in losing the September Narsery at San- down Park, seeing that had not so much use been made him in the earlier stages of the race he might have won. In his absence the verdict may fall to Spice Box H. The remaining event to be dealt with, the Doncaster Stakes, may enable Batt to atone for past disappointments. Kempton Park will provide an afteraoon's sport on Saturday, and will doubtless prove a great attraction to those London sportsmen who can- not go to Doncaster. The threat Sale Plate I shall leave with Give It Up or Sapling, and the Regulation Plate with Bridegroom II. or Ultima- tum. The Sunhury Handicap may fall to Norah Sandys or Hermiston, and the Waterloo Sellin g Nursery to Herbal or Mismanagement, while the Danebury Handicap I shall allot to Bird on the Wing or Roughside.

Rosemerryx is now at his best again, and will very likely win a race at Doncaster next week. The defeat of Calix has seriously discounted the high: reputation of the Kmgsclere two year olds. The death of General BT=e,Abe owner of Amphion, was reported at Sandown Park on Fri- day, and the statement was received with general expressions of regret. Three years ago old Highland was a power in the land, and won a succession of races. But he lost form, and besides was none too sound.

I CRICKET. SURREY v WARWICKSHIRE. AN OVERWHELMNING VICTORY. OVAL, Saturday.—Glorious weather favoured the last day's cricket in the County season, but only a few hundred people were present this morning to see. the resumption of play, the game having gone so. greatly against Warwickshire as to possess little interest. Against 609 by the home team they had scored 132 for six wickets. Willie Quaife (not out 64) had for a partner Lilley, who decided to bat despite, his injury. He was bowled first ball, Richardson thus doing the hat trick. leld left in the same over, and the innings closed for 138, Quaife. being last out after batting two horn's and 35; minutes. The la.st four wickets tell this morning for six runs, all hit from Richardson, who in the innings took seven wickets for 55. Having to follow on, 471 behind, Warwickshire started badly, Walter Qaaife, after-making a four, being caught and bowled in the first over off Richardson. At 21 Richardson bowled Kinuear, and 11 runs later Manton was bowled middle stump, while after batting 20 minutes for 3| Willie Quaife was caught by Wood standing back. The fifty went up in 70 minutes, and Loveitt stayed' for nearly 40 minutes before being caught at short leg, the fifth wicket falling at 71. Lilley played fine cricket, and completed 50 in 65 minutes, jnst before luuch, when the score stood at 95 for 5 wickets. The score on play being resumed had only reached 101 when Santall's wicket was shattered by Richard- son. Then at 107 Lilley was bowled by a ball from Brockwell, well pitched up, which he tried to drive. The three remaining wickets quickly fell, Surrey winning the match before 3.25 by an innings and 357 runs. Richardson bowled splendidly. Complete {}rp_q 1st Innings. wjutwicKSHr&E. 2nd Innings.

SCARBOROUGH, Saturday.—Some light rain fell during the night, but not in any quantity, and the weather that ushered in the final stage of the Fes- tival was brilliantly fine, and there was a fair attend- ance present at the start at 25 minutes to 12. York- shire, who had gone in overnight against a majority of 88, had lost three wickets for 66 and were therefore still 22 behind. Haigh, the not out, was joined by Brown, and Attewell and Storer shared the bowling, Wynyard keeping wicket. Haigh was out to a catch in the long field at 69, but with Jackson in runs came freely, and the deficit was wiped out before midday. Jackson and Brown scored steadily, and put on 64 in an hour before the amateur was finely caught at point low down at 133. Wainwright followed in, and some free bitting was witnessed. Brown and Wainwright added 61 for the sixth wicket, and Brown was eighth out at 209. At hmcheon there were nine wickets down for 230 runs. Attewell and Storer shared the bowling when the game was resumed at 25 minutes to 3, but Hirst and Hunter scored freely, and Jones relieved Storer at 250. Still ruas came fast, the last two batsmen who had become partners at 223 giving a lot of trouble to the bowlers. The last wicket earned 66 runs in three-quarters of an hour, and practically averted any chance Yorkshire had of losing, the innings closing at a quarter past 3. With no chance of getting the 202 runs necessary all interest had departed when Thornton's team went in at 3.35. Cuttell wanted 17 for his thousand, and so was sent in first and allowed to retire when he had made these. Stumps were pulled up at 5.15 and the match aban- doned as a draw.

CADDrvE Saturday.-Thefou-rth and final encounter between the above teams took place at the Cardiff Arms Park. Owing to the late arrival of the visitors play did not commence until live minutes past 2. Newport won the toss, and sent in F. Rees and Silverlock. S. Lowe sent down the first over from the Racquet Court end, and off the last ball Cadogan at point brilliantly caught F. Rees. R. Williams followed in, S. Biggs bowling from the 10avilion end. Rims came rapidly, chiefly off Biggs, and Lambert took his place at 41. Silverlock directly afterwards sent up the 50 with a beautiful drive to the boundary, after the game had been in progress 40 minutes. At 54 Rowntree relieved S. Lowe, but both batsmen exhibited splendid form, hitting well all round the wicket, so that at 75 another change of bowling was ried, S. Lowe going on again in the place of Lambert. Nothing came amiss to either batsman, who found the boundary frequently, and although the bowling was repeatedly changed the century was telegraphed after 75 miuntes' pla-y. At 105 Biggs relieved Arkell, and with his second ball bowled R. Williams. 105-2-46. The retiring batsman had made his runs without giving a chance. This brought Lloyd and Silverlock together, but the former was clean bowled by Taylor after scoring a single, Silverlock com- pleting his 50 about the same time. P. C. Phillips was the next to partner Silverlock, but with 10 runs to his credit he was beaten by Biggs. Silverlock soon followed, and half the wickets were down for 153. Though it was true that tha wicket played very much in favour of the bat, the bowling was not up to the usual standard, as will be appreciated when it is considered that the total had reached 150 for five wickets, and that two of the most consistent bats in Lloyd and Rees had been dismissed for one run between them. Silverfock's innings was the best he has played for some time, and his 75 comprised 11 fours. Stedman was playing sound cricket, and with R. F. Morris, despite changes in the bowling' the home captain having a turn, the score was in- creased to 170, when an adjournment was made for tea. 187 was registered at 5 o'clock, and it was hard to understand Stedmau's policy in not declaring, for but an hour and a half remained for play. Had he determined his side's innings even at 150 he had a better prospect of winning, for even then sdoring would have had to be exceptionally fast for Cardiff to come near winning. A rattling ball from S. Lowe at length disposed of Morris, and Stedman then declared, leftving Cardiff 197 to make in 75 minutes. After 40 minutes' play, and when 39 had been gained. Biggs was caught at mid-on by Williams. Tne match was left drawr. Scores :— NEWPORT. F. Rees c J. P. Cadogan b S. Lowe 0 Silverlock b S. Lowe 75 R. Williams b S. Biggs 46 G. Ll.

Picking has commenced in a few gardens of the early sorts, but will not be general until about the middle of next week. A few small lots of early hops were offered hero to-day, but we did not hear of any being sold, prices asked by growers being considered too high.

P PADDOCK GOSSIP. SANDOWN PAUK, Saturday.—The heat was almost unbearable to-day, the sun blazing with terrific power. It seemed to have affected the proper working of the railway service, and there were universal complaints about the slovenly way the special trains were worked. There was a much better attendance both in the club and general enclosures, and the sport looked like being superior to that seen yesterday. Little could be said as to the quality of those entered in the Juvenile Nursery, still there were only two absentees from the eleven entered, and their rela- tive claims were so questionable that the majority of speculators were content to let them run loose. Poor Thing filly and Vision of Delight had most support, but the latter had none the best of the start. Scotch Hawk did well for a bit, but Romany colt outstayed the lot. The winner was fancied by Chandler's stable. Watts rode Hornpool in the Granby Plate, for which the five entered turned out. There was one breakaway, and immediately afterwards Master Watts jumDed off with a flying start, and never being headed won rather easily. Mellow, who beat Hornpoot In their places at Wolverhampton, there had the best of the start, or rather Horn- pool got very badly away. Mellow was now well backed, but could not get near the favourite. Lady Athel won a Holiday Handicap at Bir- minpham some months ago, and since that time handicappers have kept rather a severs grip on her. She was obviously well treated in the Olympian Handicap to-day, and started favourite from Mediation and Sarratt. The start was not altogether satisfactory, and it simply ruined any chance held by Lady Athel. Peopleton seemed to have the beet of it till headed by the turned- loose Lord Molescroft. Roval Warden was favourite for the Home Counties Plate. The colt carried Mr Lowther's second colours, Queen's Gate wearing th 3 first but this seeming oddity was explained by the fact that whatever Watts rid|s sports first colours Roval Warden seemedWo have only to beat Dinorah in the last of a mile-a feat he accomplished, but then got tackled by Sweet Hampton, who got the best of a pretty finish by a neck Poldo ran well for a goou way. The easiest' going of the lot all the way up the straight was Dinorah. She wits beaten by the favourite a.t the half-distance. This wa5 Sweet Hampton's maiden win. She is a good -looking filly, and this form points to her ability to stay in moderate company. The going was awfully hard, and the heat so great that the ladies all vacated the club enclosure front.
